🌋 Molten Mutation in Grow a Garden — ×25 Multiplier
Molten is a weather-triggered mutation with multiplier ×25. Farm it during the listed weather (see the weather events hub), or use any pet/spray named in the trigger. It is not a growth mutation, so it can sit under Gold or Rainbow. Trigger: During Volcano, Super Storm or Armageddon. Can be applied by the Lobster Thermidor pet.

Ranked #50 of 108 tracked mutation pages by multiplier.
📌 When to use Molten
Farm Molten during the listed weather. If a pet is also named in the trigger, that pet is the off-weather path.
📐 How to Get the Molten Mutation
Trigger (from our mutation data): During Volcano, Super Storm or Armageddon. Can be applied by the Lobster Thermidor pet.
Watch the in-game forecast and the weather events list. Shops restock on a separate clock — use the stock tracker for Seed/Gear timers, not for weather. If a pet is named above, that pet can apply this mutation without the weather.
💰 Worked Examples: Molten on a Sunflower
Numbers use the site formula Base × (Weight/BaseWeight)² × Growth × (1 + Σmutations − count) and Sunflower's listed base. Plug a live crop into the Grow a Garden calculator for other weights.
🔗 Stacking & Best Combos
Once Molten is on a fruit it follows the additive rule with other non-growth mutations: 1 + Σ(multipliers) − count. Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) then multiplies that total. Cleaning Spray (Gear Shop, listed on stock) can strip mutations if you need to rebuild a fusion.

❓ FAQ
Does Molten use the homepage calculator formula?
Yes. Molten is a fruit modifier at ×25, not a crop and not a pet. Plug it into the Grow a Garden calculator with a real kg. This FAQ does not repeat the intro paragraph.
How do you get the Molten mutation?
During Volcano, Super Storm or Armageddon. Can be applied by the Lobster Thermidor pet.
Does Molten stack with Gold or Rainbow?
Yes. Molten is not a growth mutation, so Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) can multiply it. With other environmental mutations it uses 1 + Σ − count first, then growth.
What crop should I put Molten on?
Any crop uses the same multiplier. Worked examples on this page use Sunflower (50,138₡ at 8.55 kg) because that crop is also the Dawnbound reference. Weight² usually moves the number more than swapping a mid-tier crop.
Plug Molten into any crop, weight, and mutation stack for the real number.
